I had smoked barbecue chicken and pizza fries. Really liked barbecue though it didnt feel like barbecue however quantity is good. The pizza fries was OK and the quantity was good. I liked the ambience and decor even though noone was there. Food is reasonable and tasty I loved the peach iced tea in drinks.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
A faulty and slightly misleading google maps aided localisation of the restaurant- that is how my much awaited Kapao Dos experience started. And there I stood in front of the Writer's Cafe, irresolute about which direction to turn towards to finally get to the restaurant.
Was almost on the verge of entering the iconic and restricted Presidency Club , but was reprimanded by the security well in time on the grounds of trespassing.
Another 5 to 10 minutes, and finally I was standing in front of a moderately small looking outlet with 'Kapao Dos' written on top. I entered.
Ambience:- Serene, dark , almost somnolent with no acoustic jingoism , quite familiarly encountered at cafés and continental places of the same genre. The darkness and silence almost made the place romantic.
Food:-
Kurkure Chicken Momo:- Indeed, it not just fulfilled but almost surpassed all the expectations that I had surrounding it after reading all the wonderful reviews on Zomato . A crispy batter with a generous chicken filled stuffing, 6 in number; it had all the elements it needed to be called a gem
Palestinian Chicken Platter:- Was okay. Nothing extravagant. Did soothe my taste buds which are not quite oil and butter demanding.The Salad and French fries were good but nothing remarkable. However, the quality of the pita bread has to be pondered upon. Wasn't quite happy with it. Was a little hard to be chewed right at the very first bite. Overall, okayish ,but not recommendable for those who are looking for an oil dripping preparation of chicken platter.
24 layered Chocolate cake:- One of the specialities of the restaurant:- NOT AVAILABLE, as usual. Was quite a setback considering it is one of the most sought after deserts of the place. So instead went for the Mexican Chocolate Shake:- Was superb. Might not be visually as appealing as its counterparts in other cafes and restaurants- but taste wise was one of the best, atleast among what I have ever tasted
Hibiscus flavoured Ice Tea:- Again wasn't bad. But wasn't anything overtly remarkable either. Seemed more of a sugar(and Rooh Afza-??) infused tea with cubes of ice in it. Had anticipated a unique Hibiscus flavour and aroma blended with the freshness of tea leaves. But that certainly was missing.
Overall:- DEFINITELY RECOMMENDABLE to all the continental gourmets out there. But you need to plan your car parking in advance coz there wasn't any designated Car parking area visible in the vicinity
Half a star deducted for the unsatisfactory pita bread and another half for the unavailability of the much sought after 24 layered cake.
I had the Vietnamese Cold Coffee and chicken steamed momos here. Safe to say, they were both fabulous. The coffee was so refreshing, I was sad when it got over. The steamed momos were cooked to perfection with the chicken being fresh and moist, and the crust was of the right thickness.
Would definitely come here again and try more options. #Kapao!
